Most economists love markets. But my guest today, Nobel Prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, is an exception to that rule. He has devoted his life to exposing the limits of markets. STIGLITZ: One of the arguments in my book is that, in a sense, neoliberal capitalism is self devouring. A world in which you just leave it to the markets, you’re going to wind up with selfish people, monopolies, and the system won’t work well. Welcome to People I (Mostly) Admire, with Steve Levitt.
